“So when we sing, 'Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,' we are not thinking of the nearness of place, but of the nearness of relationship.

He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts.” ThinkingNeedsSoulSpacePerfectSecretConsciousnessLordAwarenessDivinePrayingDegreesDrawsBlessedAbsentAnswers To PrayerSecret Thoughts Author:Aiden Wilson Tozer
